THE MANDALORIAN live action series

[YJ02]

I want the first live action Ashoka to appear in a TV series, not a movie.

it is entirely possible she could appear in this

the last ashoka was seen was in the last scene of REBELS. that scene was set not long after ROTJ. we see Ashoka and Sabine Wren- a Mandalorian, taking off to search for Ezra

so there search is going on during the time setting of this show. so who knows?

i saw an article where several female characters have been cast for s2 of this show, i think either of them could be made up to look like either Sabine or Ashoka

 

[YJ02]

Doing a series on just a single character or a small group of characters works just as well

these 2 shows are coming as well

1 for Obi Wan with Ewan Macgregor and the other as a ROGUE 1 prequel:

"In addition to The Mandalorian, other upcoming Star Wars series will include a show that stars Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story which is set to feature the return of Diego Luna as Cassian Andor and Alan Tudyk as K-2SO.

do ppl on the 'left coast' HAVE to make everything into a political issue?

#wtfiswrongwithcalifornia?



i bet 'they' were hoping it would be a virtue signalling, sjw fest

and on the flip side of things, i have seen some ppl in some YT reviews complain because there are female characters in this show in a 'male role (like bounty hunter). ALERT!!! There have been female characters in SW's since its beginning. and there were several female bounty hunters in CLONE WARS as well as female inquisitors in REBELS

Why would you dump the blame on California? The SJWs are all over the country. Just sayin!

one should always aim for the center of mass

did you read the twitter comments in the vid? they're hilarious, even more so since you know the tweeters are serious

got dis + today and watched all 3 eps

i do agree with those who like it, seems to be a very good show so far

couple of things--

the Mandalorian 'covert' that the lead is a part of, seem to be a non mainstream Mandalorian group. a fringe group not part of the core mandalorian society.

they are almost like 'death watch' from the clone wars, but of course a much smaller group.

whoever they are, they have been outcast from the main of mandalore society

we saw in rebels where one ruling house sold out to the empire-the empire wanted the beskar and the man power as well as shipyards and weapons factories the manda's possessed.

from rebels, we saw where house Wren and its allies drove out the collaborators from power and drove the empire from mandalore

what we dont know is what happened between that and when we get another updt at the end of rebels, where Sabine Wren alludes to the point that Mandalore 'survived' the rebellion.

but somewhere in between REBELS and MANDALORIAN , the 'great purge' occurred.

this is probably an event of exploitation the empire did to mandalore for resources, manpower (all the above) as they did to other planets, like Jedha and the exploitation of kyber crystals from it

so with that, this group is outcast in some way from either a house that supported the Empire's takeover of Mandalore, or from a house that fought against it yet could not or would not return to a newly freed mandalore

------------
also, the people in this covert dont seem to be actual mandalorians by birth. we know for a fact as we see from the main's flashbacks when he was a kid and the point that the group is based around 'foundlings'-orphans

this would tie into the fact that anyone, of any species, can be a Mandalorian if they are trained in the lifestyle and the ways and conduct of a warrior, even if they were not born on Mandalore

even though, by the time of CLONE WARS, most of the Mandalorian society had become pacifists, this covert is anything but, another thing that leads to the belief that they are a group based around non Mandalorians

---------------
like the use of the Jawas, shows that they are not just a one planet species. and we finally get to see the cockpit of a sand crawler

lots of cool geeky SWs trivial stuff in this show that helps to make it the show it is.

-----------------

i just hope like hell, that since the 'hero' is a foundling, as are the others(?) that we don't get a reveal that they are like rescued and hidden away Padawans who survived order 66

i mean ,that is probable thing, that many of them as well as Jedi did survive, but it is a old story. please no more jedi or sith. the baby having force ability is ok, lets not beat in the SW's trope too much beyond that please

and the music and ending credits

both remind me of 70's and early 80's detective shows and westerns.
the story boarding type of images at the end credits reminds me of the end credits for, i think it was ,wild wild west-the old tv series?

they did a similar thing. i like it!

and while i DO not agree with the femi- nazis and SJW criticisms of the show (not enough females, blah,blah) I do understand their discomfort

not that it matters

but i am very surprised that DISNEY allowed a show that is so predominately and boldly MALE in its presence and attitude

i dont mean that there are few women-there are a lot actually, just as much as most SW's movies--, or that it is sexist, or 'rapey' or exploitative cause it is none of those, but in how the show carries itself

do you know what i mean? it is show,most decidedly, for males

I mentioned earlier about that Disney-esque music, but it isn't a dealbreaker. I will not even notice by episode 5. The SJWs are still whining about the show but I think Disney has finally decided to dial back the SKW/Wokeness for The Mandalorian. I am surprised that you think that Disney doesn't learn from it's mistakes. The Last Jedi, and the creation of Rey and Admiral Holdo and Captain Phasma were cringe fests of Feminist agenda, and they have ruined the Disney Trilogy. But Rogue One had none of it and ended up doing very well with the fans. Now, after the impending fail of The Rise of Skywalker and the already failed Solo and reduced performance of The Last Jedi, they have to regroup. Galaxy's Edge is suffering, as are toy sales for anything related to the Disney Star Wars material. Now, they have a new streaming service with a tentpole series in The Mandalorian, and it is a hit. It is actually doing it's job of selling the service. It's doing successfully what Star Trek did unsuccessfully with CBS All Access.

any disney, any network or creator of original content to do something like this any longer

and i dont get some disney music feel from the theme more like these, not copies or anything but very similar in style and 'attitude'. there are many, here's two. i certainly dont think mickey mouse when i see or hear the mandalorian:

 

[Overmind One]

I am surprised at how rewatchable these episodes are. You can watch all three of them twice through and be engaged. And yeah, I totally fell for cute baby Yoda (not really Yoda, or is it?)

 

[Jim of WVa]

Quarter Black Garrett from the Louder with Crowder show is on a Fandom Menace live feed with Gary Nerdrotic. Maybe the Fandom Menace does lean a little Republican?

 

[Joelist]

The Fandom Menace crosses the political spectrum. Right on that screen there are people going from left to right and in between - the difference is they have decided that politics <> life.

ep 4 was very good. hopefully there were enough 'women with speaking roles' in it for the feminazis

and the Mando getting his ass kicked by a woman should really shut them up

these stories are all great, this one was very reminiscent of stuff like MAGNIFICENT 7 only this time around it was 2. reminiscent of yet not derivative

----------
now again with the whole 'Mandalorian covert' he is part of. being referred to as a tribe, rather than a house (as previously established as the way Mandal's organize), his saying he cant take off his helmet or he wont be able to put it on again,etc.

that is all contradictory to what we already know about mandalorians. so i say that he and his 'tribe' are defi. all part of some outcast sect. like a bunch of ronin samurai. we have seen plenty of mandalorians take their helmets off many times, even the warriors. even Jango Fett took his helmet off and he was a bounty hunter as well

so defi. more to tell here on this issue, hopefully they get to it this season

 

[YJ02]

this popped on my suggested on YT

gave it a whizz since he says he like the show, wanted to see what he would say

in the first 3 minutes he is so full of crap, and it is obvious he was not paying attn, he gets some really obv stuff wrong

like when the mando went into the inn. he orders the broth. he clearly tells the women that he just wants one for the kid.

Nerd for brains here says that the mando got the broth for himself and that he must drink it through a straw,etc

then he said it was a 'disney episode'. wtf-ever

why, because it did have 3 women with speaking roles? does this guy have an issue with women, is that his problem?

like when he bitches about Cara Dune telling the Mando to give him his rifle so she can move forward to get the at st crew to step it into the trap.

Gary, crap for beard here, says that this about 'wamen' or wtfever. ok, maybe in his mind where he thinks his world is being overun by women it is.

but no, the mando gives it to her, a stranger he just met, because they are in a close combat situation and she clearly has more trng, skill and experience in that kind of combat situation. HE IS A BOUNTY HUNTER not a experienced former rebel shock trooper who fought against the empire-thats why he gave it to her

so, tell me, Gary crap for beard, can we never again have a show about women in combat or other dangerous situations because you think that it is about wokeness and not about the plot

are you gay GARY? Are you afraid of catching cooties from girls GARY?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
the episode shows several important things

a few
--that the mando is a guy who wants to help ppl in need, especially if he can get something out of it, like a safe and quiet place for him and the kid

he wants to help like he was helped and given sanctuary as a foundling of the Tribe
and, the inverse- he wants to help defenseless ppl in the way that his ppl were not helped when he was little = parents killed, town destroyed

-- that even on a very remote and low tech planet, he can still be found by those seeking the kid = nowhere to run, no safe place

these two things alone help to set the pace for future episodes -- he cant settle down, he cant leave the kid anywhere and he will always have to be on alert and ready


so, yeah, i really think guys like mr nerd here just sit and search for stuff that they can twist and try to sell as being bad or negative, or too female. anything that will help to fulfill all the negative prophecy they have made in the pre-series time to try to get their viewers to say' oh yeah nerd, you were right, the show does suck'

piss off Gary

 

[Joelist]

I also thought Gary was a little hard on it but even with his issues he still said it was fair. The "Disney" remark is not so much about women as it is about sanitizing shows to a certain extent - making them more kid friendly. Hence we get a baby Yoda that is super cuddly looking, a Mandalorian that is rather gentler than the usual portrayal and so on. To be honest I think they ARE doing this a bit to the Mandalorian because they want Disney + to be attractive to parents with children.

Also, they did this to Mayans MC after they bought FX - the show is VERY sanitized compared to Sons of Anarchy. But Mayans has its own more pressing issues (lack of character development, half the story feels like a bad soap opera).

Indeed, look at what Disney did to Times Square.

ep 5..another good episode

but GAry.. oh Gary, you are so delusional by your all consuming hate of disney that you have condemned yourself to always look for the bad-in your perception, in everything

one example from your "review" of ep 5

you say that the Mandalorian goes to Mos Eisley spaceport "not known for bounty hunters or bad actors" words to that effect. alluding to the fact that Mando is on the run so why we he go there?

well, Gary oh Gary, Mos Eisley is well known for its being a hot bed of illegal activity and full of undesirables

did you never see this scene Gary oh Gary?

 

[YJ02]

and he talks about how the show is about nothing

yes, id's himself as a very very casual viewer of SW's right there

and, with that aside, what show is going to reveal what it is about in the first episode? thats why it has episodes

 

[Joelist]

Um, the tone of voice gave it away.....Gary was being sarcastic. He knows full well what Mos Eisely is.

Also, he himself said he was sick when viewing so his impressions may be colored by that.
